my cat seem's really sick she vomits alot and my vet says she is ok.?

Answer 1

I had a cat named Amber who was doing the same thing- for months she would just vomit at all times, and for no reason. My vet said the same thing that she was fine... If you look (I know it may be gross) at it before you pick it up, just see whats in it to make sxure there is no blood or mucus. if there is hair (a lot more than usual... almost clumpy with food or whatever) she just may be having problems digesting the food because of the hair. Amber had that and I got this gel from the vet (costs btwn $8-10) it's a laxative that coats her stomach and eases the hair thru the digestive tract and in her stomach. Also take a look at her gums, they shold be a whitish/pink color any different could be problems. If you do get the gel, the best place to put it is on her front paws because no matter what (that stuff may be hard to give her by hand) they have to lick it off. it will help out (if thats the problem) and make it easier for everything to run in her system. But the other side to the cat vomiting could be she is uncomfortable with the situation she is in (if you have other cats that chase her and such) or you just moved and she is not use to the new surroundings yet, or even she has had a routine somehow and it stopped and it freaked her out to where she is making herself sick. If you do not trust the vet's decision on the "she's okay" I would say go get a second opinion with a second vet. they may have better insight on the problem. good luck.

Cats, as you're witnessing, have a much more sensitive vomiting reflex than we do(!!), so it isn't unusual for cats to vomit when they don't appear sick.

I assume your cat has a healthy, but not excessive, appetite; isn't losing weight or acting lethargic; doesn't have diarrhea; and that parasites have been ruled out. If any of these symptoms are present, or if he's vomiting green or orange liquid (bile), a medical problem is likely and you need to call your vet and let them know what is going on! Even if he/she says she is OK!!! Maybe time for a new vet?

The two most common scenarios in which well cats vomit are (1) from eating too much or too fast, which results in vomiting undigested food very soon after eating, and (2) hairballs, which usually cause vomiting of the hairball itself. Hairballs have no sure-fire remedy, but the most popular thing to try is a hairball lubricant (make sure you give this on an empty stomach, not with food); also frequent combing, brushing, or even a "lion clip" (for a long-haired cat) will be helpful. Any hair you can remove is hair that your cat will not end up swallowing. There is also a new hairball formula cat food on the marketthat may help, Science Diet Hairball Control.

As for eating too much or too fast, this problem is usually worse in cases where cats have their food taken away and are only permitted to eat at certain times of the day, causing them to gorge when food is available. Trials of different brands of food may help. Anything else you can do (portioning the food out gradually, for example) to encourage eating smaller amounts frequently might also be helpful. If the vomiting is daily, you might want to try medication. However, most people don't want to medicate their cats daily if vomiting only occurs once a week or less.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

If its just vomitting then its fine. Cats do become a little lazy and start vomitting if they eat something poisonous or hazardous(like a lizard).....they generally recover/heal themselves by vomitting/eating grass etc. Just let your cat move around in a garden and avoid touching her too much.

If a vets says she is ok than she most probably is ok.

Answer 4

Well, if she seems sick and vomits a lot, she is not OK. Just go to another vet.

Answer 5

Try taking your cat to another vet and see what that vet says, i hope your cat is OK!! What are you feeding your cat, maybe something is upsetting her stomach!!

Answer 6

It could be hairballs. You may want to give your cat something for hairballs. If you're still worried find another vet. All the best;^)

Answer 7

vomitting in cats is sort of an open-ended statement...people need more info to offer any advice.

Answer 8

if it's hairballs she needs to be brushed and she needs hairball treats. if it's her food and you've tried different food in discussion with the...get an VIP blood test...also get a second vets opinion

Answer 9

i think maybe you should find another vet and get a second opinion.
